Very nice - better if with engine sound, rather than music.

Many years ago, working as a security guard on Heathrow Airport, I got to inspect a B25 close up. The impression that stays with me after all this time is - how tiny it was! Especially in comparison with the 747 parked outside the hanger.

There's an organization here in the US that flies B17s, B24s and P51s around the country giving tours. They usually hit my town anywhere from March to May.

The great thing is, I live near the airport and their landing approach is usually right over my house. I hear that distinctive rumble of their engines and rush outside to take a look every time. They are an awesome sight to see when they're less than 500 feet above you.
